Applied Physiological Basis for Exercise and Sport

Container 1

SP3106 - Applied Physiological Basis for Exercise and Sport

Apply evidence-based practice that considers research evidence, emerging research, professional judgement, and client and service user preference

Analyse and interpret physiological data obtained during acute exercise, and compare that data between time points, individuals, populations and environments

Differentiate between the individual and integrated physiological responses and adaptations to acute and chronic exercise under normal conditions, in different environments, and by external influences (e.g. ergogenic aids or technologies)

Critically evaluate the physiological principles of training, detraining, overtraining, fatigue and recovery on exercise responses and adaptations
